"No greater crime exists than to lay a violent hand upon a Lightbearer. To do so is to strike a blow against the whole world, for we all rely upon the Lightbearers' sorcery.

"Therefore, strike back against any person who dares assault a Lightbearer, and strike with swift brutality. Let the Promethides bear the blow to finances or freedom. For the Pyrrhaeus, let the blow strike them from this life and into the next, where only the Eternal Radiance may offer the condemned mercy."

—from the Holy Ovidiana
